Thomas Rhett will be Part of the Miss America 2018 Judges’ Table

Thomas Rhett will be taking a night off of daddy duty pretty soon as he’ll be a part of the judges’ panel at the Miss America 2018 pageant this weekend.

He will join celebrity guests including singer Jordin Sparks, model Molly Sims and Peopleeditor Jess Cagle. Chris Harrison, host of ABC’s Bachelor programs, and ESPN’s Sage Steel will return as the event’s co-hosts for the evening.

Thomas isn’t the first country singer to help out at the competition. His buddy and former CMA Fest co-host Brett Eldredge took to the table back in 2015, and Cole Swindell had the honor of attending at the panel back in 2016. Timing falls right into place for TR who’s new album, Life Changes, will be released this Friday, September 8. The album will feature tracks such as his No. 1 duet with Maren Morris, “Craving You,” “Unforgettable,” “Sixteen” and many more.

The Miss America 2018 pageant will be held in Atlantic City, New Jersey, this Sunday, September 1 on ABC.

And life has definitely changed in recent months. Thomas and his fast growing family are featured in a multi-page spread of the latest issue of People Magazine. With a new born in the house and the addition of a newly adopted daughter all within a 3 month span, he and wife Lauren told PeopleMagazine they are taking it “one day at a time.” Along with a pictorial, the spread features a video of the couple at home with their two girls.
